Iran raps Clinton for 'rude' remarks
[Iran Press] In response to US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's anti-Iran remarks, Tehran says the comments made by some American officials lack rationale.Foreign Ministry Spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast said remarks made by Clinton and other White House officials these days are the result of their misgivings over the upcoming November elections. Regarding the Clinton accusation that Iran is 'morphing into a military dictatorship,' the Iranian spokesman said the behavior of US officials have no 'logical justification,' Mehr News Agency reported. Mehmanparast added that "such statements are mostly in line with electoral campaign of the upcoming US elections and the authorities of this country have redoubled their efforts to this end." In her lengthy speech at the Council on Foreign Relations on Wednesday Clinton also confessed to US meddling in Iran's domestic affairs by saying, "There is a great deal of ferment and activities inside that we do try to support."
